Narcissistic states of privilege.

This paper attempts to conceptualize the subjectivity of privilege and its impact upon states of consciousness. A psychoanalytic understanding of privilege is constructed by capturing how alterations and limitations in awareness are utilized to sustain a sense of narcissistic wholeness. Paradoxically, this lived system of being renders the individual incomplete, unaware of certain dissociated aspects of identity as well as compromised in their range and depth of subjective experience.
